The question can be read in a couple of ways. If it asks whether insurance can be obtained to cover a past accident, the answer is NO. Otherwise, the insurer would, for all practical purposes, be buying itself a claim for which it has not received a premium.

However, the fact that you have been involved in a collision will generally not preclude getting insurance on a going forward basis. If you were not At Fault for the collision, the laws of many states mandate that an auto insurer may not take the collision into account in calculating a premium.

If it was a past at-fault collision, an insurer may under some circumstances take it into account in quoting a premium. Therefore, you may end up paying somewhat more in premium, but there is no real reason to believe that you will be uninsurable. In fact, there exist insurers that actively solicit business from those with less than perfect driving records.

My new ins company accepted it and ignored the accident. You can do as above although it is best to tell insurance about all incidnets just in case other wise any undisclosed information could invalidate claims

If your wife had an accident and she was not on your insurance and was driving a rental car that had sui and cdw but no pai for medical injury who pays your auto-ins rental-ins or medical-ins?

Your medical insurance will probably pay; however, you will have to put in a claim to the other insurances first and get a written copy of denial before your medical insurance pays on a car accident. Make sure your doctors' billing offices have those instructions. I fought the charges from a surgery for 6 years before the hospital admitted they messed up the billing procedure.

You can have insurance on a suspended plate. If you get in an accident with a suspended plate, though, your insurance company may not cover the accident because the car was not legal to drive.
